Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Paediatric Hospital: Discussion

9:00 am

Dr. Peter Greally:

Alder Hey Children's Hospital is the hospital he mentioned. As I understand it, Alder Hey as an institution wanted to tri-locate but because of spatial issues in Liverpool and the scale of the Alder Hey clinical operation there was not the capacity to accommodate it. With regard to Melbourne, which historically has been a stand-alone children's hospital, it is adjacent to Flemington Road and, if memory serves, there is an adult hospital and maternity services 2 km to 3 km up Flemington Road. Although it is stand-alone, those services are adjacent.
